Cancer is expensive: According to the Global Oncology Trend Report, released May 2015 by the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics, global spending on cancer medications rose 10.3 percent in 2014 to $100 billion, up from $75 billion in 2010. The report follows one from IMS Health released in April 2015, which found that overall U.S. spending on drugs reached $373.9 billion in 2014.

For all the people i know currently battling: Trisha, Alan, George and Ernie ( this list could grow before I ride in August - half of all men and a little over a third of all women will be diagnosed with some form of cancer in their lifetime)

Why I Ride ...

The Top 10 Reasons I ride

Cancer doesn’t discriminate: Old or young, Rich or poor, Active or couch potato, religious or non believing - we are all within cancer’s reach.

Cancer loves to be the boss: Once cancer finds a way in, it loves to take over - your body, your life, your loved ones.

Cancer steals from us: cancer steals time, quality of life, and even the people we love the most.

Cancer is sneaky: Sometimes cancer can be lurking for months or years before it is detected, making the treatment and recovery all the more difficult.

Cancer is a fear monger: Everyone is afraid of getting cancer because we’ve all seen how difficult (and sometimes impossible) it is to battle.
